MySQL: Allow Remote connect to MySQL from any host

By default, you’re not allowed to connect to your MySQL database from other machine.

To enabled that, you first need to set a password to root user in your MySQL Database:

mysqladmin -u root password 'password'

To login to MySQL, use

mysql -u root -p

Once you login to your MySQL, use the following command in MySQL:

GRANT ALL on *.* to 'username'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
